NORTHFIELD* MINNESOTA—
For Immediate Release
Dr. Laurence M. Gould, president of Carleton College, announced today that
the College has been successful in raising $250,000 to endow a chair in the Department of Philosophy to bear the name of Donald J, Cowling, president emeritus of
Carleton, Former President Cowling, now a resident of Minneapolis, was also
professor of Philosophy at Carleton,
Efforts to obtain gifts for this foundation in Philosophy were stimulated
by an anonymous pledge of $1008000 conditioned upon the College receiving gifts
for an additional $150,000.
Income from the newly endowed chair will be used to pay faculty salaries
in the Department of Philosophy. In this way the fund is considered as part of
the amount which the Gollege plans to raise to match Ford Foundation gifts to the
school totaling $610,000,, which were announced last year. The Pord grant made no
stipulation requiring that the gifts be matched.
In announcing the successful culmination of efforts to raise the endowment
for the chair in Philosophy, Gould said, "I was hopeful that the sum could be
raised before my departure for the Antarctic on December 21B This is the best
going-away present I could possibly reoeive."
As a member of the National Geophysical Year Committee, and director and
chairman of the United States Antarctic program, Gould will leave on that date to
supervise the setting-up equipment for the United States scientists in the
Antarctic,
